Telfair Museums proudly presents Suzanne Jackson: Five Decades, the first full-career survey and most comprehensive presentation to date for American artist Suzanne Jackson (American, b. 1944). A luminous career that spans over five decades, the retrospective includes her visual art practice as well as her connections to dance, theatre and costume design, poetry, and social activism. Jackson’s lyrical and playful dream landscapes and nonobjective paintings push against any definitions to categorize, and instead rightly define a unique perspective that evolves and sharpens over the course of one’s life pursuits.
